  Jim Hartnett

  With 35 years of service to my community, I look forward to continuing that record at the San Mateo County Transit District. Born to a family of public servants it is only natural that my path has led me to this role as the General Manager and CEO of SamTrans, Caltrain and the TA. Mobility is vital to the residents and industry of San Mateo County and I’m eager to build upon the work that has already been done by those before me. I began my career of public service with the United States Navy Reserve after graduation from Redwood City's Sequoia High School. Through the G.I. Bill I was able to graduate and begin a career in law and civic service. I have been honored and fortunate to have served as a city council member and Mayor of my hometown, Redwood City. My civic interests continued as the Chair of both the SamTrans and Caltrain board of directors. More recently I was appointed to and served as vice chair on the California High Speed Rail Authority board. I believe that active participation in the entities and processes of our democracy is critical to our future and to our success as a region, state and nation. In my role as General Manager and CEO of the San Mateo County Transit District I am proud to continue my journey of public service, performing meaningful work in my community.
